Would you tell your friend if you knew her/his boyfriend/girlfriend was cheating?

General question - what would you do?

probably not, but I might try to persuade the boyfriend/girlfriend to tell her/him himself/herself. Its best to stay out of it though, unless he/she is like your best friend or smoothing.
I'd talk to the boyfriend/girlfriend and try and get them to get their act together and fess up first, if that didn't work I'd tell them.

If I had unquestionable proof then yeah - nothing worse than them taking the partner's side and you looking like the bad friend. I'd feel a bit iffy about getting so involved in their personal life but at the same time being cheated on is a horrible feeling and being the pushy friend is the lesser of two evils here! They'd thank you for it in the end if they had anything about them.

I'd want to know if I was them, so I think I'd definitely tell them.
Yeah of course I would. What kind of friend would I be otherwise?
Yep, because I'd like to know if I was being cheated on. What kind of friend wouldn't tell. Once the news is out and my friend found out I knew all along, it would ruin our friendship. So yes, I would interfere and tell them the truth.

Lol yes. I wouldn't care if s/he didn't believe me if it was a true friend, I'd just slam the evidence in their face and hope they wake up to the truth.
I probably wouldn't say 'x is cheating on you' or something, I'd just give them all of the information I had. In fact, I asked my friend who the guy was that his girlfriend had in our (mine and his girlfriend's) flat. I told him they were in her room for a while before having something to eat and leaving. He said it was her gay friend. Turned out she was cheating on him.

Yes.

If the cheater was a closer friend, I'd confront them and let them know I wasn't happy about it, and probably give them a deadline.
Yes I would. It would hurt them but I would make sure I had proof and wasn't just going on a gut feeling that they were cheating.
